Conclusion: 2/5
An adaptation of a Dave Eggers novel. I felt that this film starts off really strongly and then after about 15 minutes it goes downhill from then on. I enjoyed the film but felt that the main ingredient was missing. There are some terrific performances. Tom Hanks is always so watchable and likeable.
